He also stated a stiuation on New Broadway where a house was built completely blocking the view of the river. Mr. Capossela then moved to approve the application made by the Knopper's of 2 Highland Lane for an addition to the property. There being no second to the motion, Acting Chairman McCarthy, on advice of Counsel, declared the motion not carried. Ms. Fina moved to deny the application as submitted based on the following: 1. It would impair the use and desirability of the street and the neighboring properties and could reduce the value of adjacent properties. 2. That the proposed addition would be dissimilar to the other properties surrounding the proposed structure in that the height is greater than neighboring properties and will have an overbearing looming effect on the street. 3. The design of the roof is excessively high and bulky, as compared to the neighboring properties. This mass of thefcroposed roof will not be in scale with or harmony with the surrounding properties. 4. Garage is too prominent. It does not tie in well to the house, and is too close to the street. 5. Computer generated photos do not accurately represent the site in that they represent the building as sitting out on an open cliff with no neighboring properties. Ms. Aloia seconded the motion and made the following comments: She agreed with Ms. Fina's observations and felt that the building would be too bulky for the size of the lot and would be too high for such a small lot. Acting Chairman McCarthy polled the Board as follows: Mr. Ms. Ms. Mr. Capossela Aloia Fina McCarthy No Yes Yes Yes Mr. McCarthy declared the motion denying the application for the addition to the property at 2 Highland Avenue carried. Mr. Pozsin, on behalf of the applicants stated he objected, for the record, to the Chairman's recusal from these proceedings. This recusal �-3is based upon a private communication delivered to Board members after the Public Meeting was closed and public comments should no longer have been accepted. While the Acting Chairman indicated that such communications was not part of the Board's deliberation on the application, it is clear that the Chairman's recusal effects the outcome of these proceedings at this time. He stated that to recuse a member based on a private communication sent only to certain Board members, and not even the member recused, nor the applicant itself, is tantamont and taints the entire proceeding. There being no further business to come before the Board Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Ms. Aloia that the same be duly adjourned.

Mr. McCarthy stated he felt the house shouldn't be stone on one side and different material on the other. fir, Nazemetz felt that the house was too massive for the size of the lot and asked for a photograph of a similiar house the company had built in Purchase. Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Mr. Sackman to table the matter until the November meeting in order for the applicant to present further information for the Board to review. Carried. (CQRRECTED-rmynrifflFP r y t h , 2003 MEETING.) �-67. FREMONT HOUSE-REMANDED BACK TO THE BOARD BY VILLAGE ADMINISTRATOR. Mr. Nazemetz stated that the Administrator had remanded back to the Board the application and asked for further information and study, regarding the approval of the Board for the construction of two houses on the former *>• Fremont property. Mr. Nazemetz presented a copy of correspondance addressed to the Administrator regarding die ARB consistence findings and outlining the Board's position on the matter. (COP/ IN OFFICIAL MINUTES) . Copies were made available to the public. Ms. Angie Kahn, Saccardi & Schiff Planners for the Village stated that she had read the findings before the meeting and they appear to be thorough and comprehensive. Ms. Fina asked Ms. Kahn to summarize the findings for the benefit of the Board and the Audience. At this point, Mr. Leonard Andrews, an audience member, stated he had not seen the findings and felt they should be given an. opportunity to respond. Ms. Kahn stated there are no public hearings necessary for resolutions and the project was already approved. Mr. Nazemetz questioned Ms. Kahn regarding the application being before the Planning Board's October meeting. Ms. Kahn stated that a representative of the applicant came before the Board and the Board requested the applicant delineate wetlands and wetland buffers and that the Board is expecting information at their next meeting. Mr. Nazemetz then stated that the Board could make their findings and resolution conditional upon the Planning Board's decision on wetlands. While the Board was debating their decision, Ms. Kahn stated that the Board could table the resolution \intil next month so that the Board could consult with legal Counsel. At that time the applicant's Attorney objected, then Ms. Kahn stated she was merely giving the Board the option, since no legal Counsel was present at this meeting. Ms. Fina stated she felt information was not accurate and moved, to rescind the motion the Board previously adopted approving theconstruction of the two houses and that they have time to review and discuss the information. There being no seconded to the motion it did not carry. Mr. -Nazemetz stated that the ARB was the determining agency and not the Waterfront Advisory Board. Mr. Sackman felt that some of the information given by the applicant was inaccuratte. size lot and felt that the Board would be sorry if the houses are too large and over-bearing. �-7Mr. I-eonard Andrews, 11 Pokahoe Drive, asked the Chair if there would be time for public comments on the findings of consistency with the Waterfront Revitalrz'ation Program. He stated he just received the"findings five minutes before and would like to comment on the report in writing. He stated that incorrect statements and findings not based on the public meeting the ARB had held. He also said it would be in the interest of both the ARB and the Developer to permit public comments to avoid the decision being subject to an ART. 78 Proceeding. Mr. Andrews also asked if his letters dated October 15th, and October 19th had been reviewed by the ARB and were part of the public record. The Chair stated they had been read by him and other members indicated they also had seen the letters. Thereupon, Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Mr. Sackman to adopt the following resolution: WHEREAS, an application for the construction of two single-family houses on two separate lots ("the Proposed Action") that were subdivided from a lot that holds a locally historic structure known as "the Fremont House" was submitted to the Village of Sleepy Hollow on April 8, 2003, by James Kennedy Construciton Company, Inc. and WHEREAS, the Applicant appeared before the Architectural Review Board (the ARB") at their regularly scheduled meeting of May 28, 2003, at which time the application was referred to the Village of Sleepy Hollow Waterfront Advisory Committee ("the WAC") in order to determine the application's consistency with the golas and objectives contained within the Village's Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP): and WHEREAS, the WAC considered the application at their regularly scheduled meeting of June 4, 2003, and unanimously concluded that the Proposed Action would be inconsistent with LWRP Policies 23, 23 B, 25 and 25A: and WHEREAS, the Applicant again appeared before the ARB at their regularly scheduled meeting of June 25, 2003, at which time whose wishing to be heard were given the opportunity to be heard, and the Applicant's representatives providing addiitional information on the Proposed Action, including the elimination of the second floor above the garage for one house, a reduction in overall mass, the placement of the'garage under one house, and various revisions to the materials; and WHEREAS, the Applicant appeared before the ARB at their regularly scheduled meeting of July 23, 2003, and presented additional information on the Proposed Action, including a reduction in roof height for one house, a reduction in overall mass and square footage for both houses, and various revisions to the windows and materials; and WHEREAS, the ARB has reviewed and considered all information presented to them by the WAC and the Planning Board; and to them by the Applicant up to and including all materials presented at the August 27, 2003, meeting: and �-8VIHEREAS, the ARB reached a general consensus that the Proposed Action, as modified by the Applicant in response to the initial consistency review, meets the criteria for approval from the Architecture Review Board as per Chaper 6 of the Village of Sleepy Hollow Code; and ' WHEREAS, the ARB unanimously approved the Proposed Action at its regularly scheduled meeting of August 27, 2003; and NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT REVOLSED that the ARB confirms their prior approval of the proposed project: and NOW, THEREFORE BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the ARB herein makes their findings (attached) regarding the Proposed Action as now modified. Mr. Nazemetz polled the Board as follows: Mr. Wichmann Mr. McCarthy Mr. Nazemetz Yes Yes Yes Mr. Sackman Ms. Fina Yes No Mr. Nazemetz declared the motion carried. Mr. Andrews then stated that the ARB will regret this decision because it will open Sleepy Hollow Manor to over-development. Every one-third acre .lot including those with existing houses, can now be developed with a 6,000 square foot house and larger lots can have evern larger houses. There being no further business to come before the Board, Mr. McCarthy moved, seconded by Ms. Fina that the same be duly adjourned. Carried.

Nazemetz, Chairman; Architectural Review Board Date: October 22, 2003 Re: ARB consistency findings As required by Village Code 59A-H-2, and requested by the Village of Sleepy Hollow, the Architectural Review Board of the Village of Sleepy Hollow (ARB) hereby submits this report in the matter of James Kennedy Builders and its applications for two houses in Sleepy Hollow Manor. This report details the findings of the ARB for determining consistency in response to the Village's Waterfront Advisory Committee's (WAC) findings of non-consistency. While the Village feels the ARB should refer this matter back to the WAC, (village letter to ARB chair dated October 2, 2003), the ARB, feeling their process over three months resulted in findings of consistency and, as an approving agency, with no local law requiring a referral back to an advisory board (WAC), believes no referral is required. The consistency determination is entirely up to the approving agency, in this case the ARB (Saccardi & Schiff, Inc. memo of October I, 2003.) The ARB was never advised by the Village or its planning consultants (Saccardi & Schiff, Inc.) that Type II actions needed to be referred to the WAC. Based on the belief that a law was on the books, the applications were referred to that advisory board. It wasn't until after the August 27, 2003 ARB meeting that the ARB chair tried to find the amended law in the Village Code (chapter 59A) and couldn't. The chair then pointed out to the Village the local law for waterfront referral that was amended on April 7, 2003 (and passed by the board of trustees on that date) to include Type II actions (one and two family homes) was never sent to the Secretary of The State of New York for approval (and, as of today's date, hasn't been). Hence, the Kennedy applications should not have been referred to the WAC at all. The ARB fails to see how an application can be made to comply with a non-law. 28 Beekman Avenue • Sleepy Hollow, New York 10591 Telephone (914) 366-5100 »Fax (914) 631-5880 www.sleepyhollowny.org �REVIEW PROCESS The Architectural Review Board of the Village of Sleepy Hollow commenced its review of the two residences proposed by builder James Kennedy on May 28, 2003. At that meeting, the matter, after the usual process of hearing the application, public comments, and board discussion, was tabled for a review by the Waterfront Advisory Board at their June 4th meeting (the ARB believing the Village had a law requiring that referral). The applicant was then rescheduled to appear before the ARB on June 25, 2003. At the June 25th meeting, the applicant presented plans and elevations of the proposed houses. After a long public comment session, the ARB asked the applicant to address specific issues, such as wetlands, massing of architectural elements, finishes, site layouts for visitation, and a response to solutions of the WAC's findings at their June 4th meeting. The matter was then adjourned to the next ARB meeting on July 23, 2003. For the July 23rd meeting, the applicant presented new plans and elevations showing the houses reduced in size from the June submission (as per the ARB's request). The ARB offered suggestions for other materials. After the usual board procedures, the matter was adjourned to the August 27, 2003 meeting. The August 27th meeting of the ARB opened cordially as usual. After other applications were heard and disposed of, Kennedy Builders again presented revised plans and elevations for the two houses. After a lengthy presentation and public comment session, the ARB voted unanimously to approve the two houses, noting the reduction in size and mass. They noted also that the delineation of features by way of materials would not degrade the adjacent areas but would rather enhance those areas and view sheds. THE WAC'S FINDINGS The Waterfront Advisory Board, at their June 4th meeting, noted that this application had an impact on policies 5B, 23, 23A, 23B, 25 and 25A of the Village's Local Waterfront Revitalization Plan (LWRP). Policies 5B and 23A were found not applicable; the remaining policies were found to be relevant to the Kennedy applications. Policies 23 and 23B These policies deal with protecting, enhancing, and restoring structures, districts, areas or sites that are significant in the history, architecture, or culture of the state, its communities or the nation, as well as preserving and enhancing structures, areas or sites within the Village of Sleepy Hollow that are eligible for listing on state and/or national historic registers. Among the factors cited by the WAC for inconsistency to these two policies are the impacts the new houses would have on the recently renovated Fremont house. The WAC also questioned side yard setbacks as well as not receiving specific design materials for their review. 2 �The ARB, over the course of three months (June, July, and August), made it clear to the applicant that the Fremont house should not be "intruded on"; rather, the two proposed houses, situated adjacent to that house, should complement it. While the Fremont house is listed on the County Site of Historic Places, it is doubtful the house could be listed on any state or national register because of the extensive renovation, not restoration, of that structure. In the course of the ARB's three month review of the Kennedy proposal (with three months of changes to what the WAC had originally seen at their June 4th meeting) and with materials and finishes being finalized, the ARB felt the proposal had been refined to an extent so as to compliment the surrounding area. At the August meeting, the ARB, after reviewing new elevations of the proposal amid an elevation of the Fremont house, felt the scale, details, and finishes were complimentary to the Fremont house. The ARB again noted the proposed houses met all of the village's current zoning requirements as to lot coverage, building setbacks from property lines, building height, and floor area ratio (FAR) and thus, no zoning variances were needed. Policies 25 and 25A These policies address protecting, restoring, or enhancing natural and man-made resources which, while not of statewide significance, contribute to the overall quality of the coastal area and also the protection or enhancement of views of the Hudson River, the Hudson River Valley, and the opposite shore from the immediateriverfrontas viewed from public owned properties. The WAC felt the Kennedy proposal would do nothing to preserve the Fremont house historic site and is incompatible with a landscape that includes views of the Hudson River and a historic mansion in an unobstructed setting. The WAC specifically noted that river views could be improved by the pruning of overgrown shrubbery. The WAC brings up again the issue of size and scale as part of its inconsistency findings. The ARB, in its study of the proposal's site in regard to views of the Fremont house and the Hudson River, noted the problem of the overgrown shrubbery. The only view now of the Fremont house in its entirety is from the driveway of the Fremont house, with the existing landscape blocking views from the Hemlock and Pokahoe view sheds. The ARB felt the extensive landscaping included with the architecture and the removal of all the overgrown shrubbery and trees would "open up" the building sites and therefore, increase views to the Hudson River and the Fremont house from those view sheds. With the reduced size (or mass) of the houses, the new landscape, in the ARB's opinion, would enhance all view sheds and "frame" the Fremont house, thereby accenting the renovation of that house. The Fremont house would still be the jewel of the area and, with much needed new landscaping a fine focal point of the view sheds. ARB COMMENTS AND CONCLUSIONS The Architectural Review Board has strict criteria for the acceptance or rejection of applications. The ARB may approve, approve with conditions or disapprove an application. The ARB may not disapprove an application unless the ARB finds that the project: I. Would be detrimental to the DESIRABILITY, PROPERTY VALUES, or DEVELOPMENT of the surrounding area by reason of: 3 �A. EXCESSIVE SIMILARITY to existing buildings facing the SAME STREET within 250 FEET of proposed site: B. EXCESSIVE DISSIMILARITY to existing buildings facing the SAME STREET within 250 FEET of proposed site: and/or C. VISUAL OFFENSIVENESS or POOR QUALITY OF DESIGN II. PERSONAL PREFERENCE must not enter into a Board Member's Determination III. If the Board denies an application, it must STATE SPECIFIC GROUNDS for finding SIMILARITY; DISSIMILARITY; VISUAL OFFENSIVENESS or POOR QUALITY OF DESIGN ANY DENIAL HAS TWO COMPONETS I. The proposed Development is too SIMILAR; DISSIMILAR; VISUALLY OFFENSIVE or POOR QUALITY OF DESIGN; AND II. THE SIMILARITY; DISSIMILARITY; VISUAL OFFENSIVENESS or POOR QUALITY OF DESIGN NEGATIVELY AFFECTS THE DESIRABILITY or the PROPERTY VALUES or the DEVELOPMENT of the surrounding area. In approving the Kennedy application, the ARB did not find specific grounds for disapproval and, the ARB did not arrive at its decision "willy-nilly". The review process started in May and concluded in August. There were approximately eight hours of debate and constant revision and refinement by the applicant to address concerns requested by the ARB. The Board factored in many issues, among them: wetland compliance (found by the Planning Board on July 17, 2003 to have no jurisdiction concerning wetland issues with this application), and zoning (again, no zoning issues or variances needed for this application.) The ARB could not and does not factor in legalities involving contract vendee and property subdivision issues that were raised by neighbors and the local homeowners association. Those issues were resolved by the property owner, Trent Realty, for the contract vendee issue and the village and county itself for the subdivision issue (the property being subdivided in 1974 , with the approval of the Village Board of Trustees, the local homeowners association known then as Sleepy Hollow Manor Taxpayers Inc., and Westchester County). Any attempt by the Village to investigate the legality of that subdivision after 30 years smacks of political motivation to appease the Sleepy Hollow Manor Association (as the homeowner association is now known) and which is opposed to the development of the two legal building lots (Kennedy's applications). The ARB felt the end product would be a fine addition to the neighborhood and would not have an adverse impact on property values and the concerns voiced by the Waterfront Advisory Committee. The WAC, in its findings of June 4, 2003, noted inconsistencies in every aspect of the policies it deemed affected by this project. Since at least two members of that board reside in Sleepy Hollow Manor, and one of those members, Doug Maass submitted a letter at the June ARB meeting condemning the project, the ARB feels the WAC was not objective in its evaluation. 4 �Because of the WAC's conclusions, one cannot help but feel the WAC desired nothing built at all. The WAC, having failed in its objectivity, also failed to offer any suggestions for compliance along with its consistency report, as is required in Chapter 59A-5E-2 of Local Law 7 (amended 10-18-2002 by L.L. No. 14-2002). The Waterfront Consistency Review Law was not enacted to hinder development, but to protect existing resources while accommodating development. While projects can be found to be inconsistent, the fact that the WAC must offer suggestions to overcome those inconsistencies and did not in this case leads to that conclusion. The ARB feels the WAC should have upheld its end of the law in the form of suggestions for compliance for consistency. The ARB, as the approving agency, considers its business in the Kennedy proposals as having been executed completely, exhaustively, and most objectively, now feels, as it did on August 27,2003 that its decisions in these applications were and are the correct decisions, and as a result, feels this matter is now concluded. This report, in addition to the attached resolution, fulfills the requirements of Chapter 59-A-H-2 of Local Law 7 of the Village Code as requested by the Village of Sleepy Hollow to the ARB Chair as per letter of October 2,2003.

Chairman Nazemetz welcomed new member, Trustee Donald Stever to the Board, and stated that due to the fact that Mr. Stever had another appointment the Board would consider the Fremont application, although it was not on tonight’s agenda. 1. FREMONT PROPERTY APPLICATION Chairman Nazemetz stated that based on new information the Board has been asked to rescind their action taken at the October 22, 2003 meeting, approving the application for the construction of two one-family residences on the sub-divided lots of the Fremont property. Chairman Nazemetz stated that the application had been discussed at their May 28, 2003, June 25 2003, July 23, 2003 and their August 27, 2003 meetings and that the Board reviewed all documents, plans, and information provided by the applicant. He stated that the various Board members made various requests of the applicant. Many of which were complied wit. He stated that all of those wishing to be heard at all the meetings were allowed to be heard, and felt that the Board was correct in rendering a decision. Mr. .Stever suggested that the Board rescind their motion and that the applicant be instructed to appear before the Board at their January meeting, in order for the Board to review new information, recently submitted and that in light of the changes to the application that the matter be referred back to the Waterfront Advisory Committee for another recommendation. �Chairman Nazemetz stated that he would like to refer the matter to the Village Attorney for an opinion. Mr. Stever stated that the purpose of rescinding the motion was to insulate Mr. Stiloski, so that he would not have to issue a Building Permit to the applicant until the matter was resolved. Chairman Nazemetz stated he felt that the Board had acted properly in approving the application, having reviewed all of the information and plans and felt that the application was consistent with the goals and objectives contained within the Village’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP). Mr. Stever stated that there was a negative consistency recommendation made by the Waterfront Advisory Committee regarding the matter and the Board should not have approved the application without making specific findings with respect to consistency, which, on the basis of the record, do not appear to have been made. Chairman Nazemetz stated that the ARB is the approving agency while the Waterfront Committee is advisory and the ARB’s decision issued at the October meeting was valid then and still is. Mr. .Stever stated that any member that voted “yes” on the motion to approve can vote to rescind the motion. Mr. Sachman moved, seconded by Ms. Aloia that in light of concerns expressed by members of the public and certain Board members about the accuracy of certain material upon which the Board’s decision of August 27, 2003 and October 22, 2003 were based, and in order to further consider the Board’s obligation under the Waterfront Consistency Review Law, that the Board’s decision in relation to the matter of Kennedy Construction, Inc. dated August 27, 2003 and October 22, 2003 are hereby rescinded pending reconsideration of the matter at the Board’s January 28, 2004 meeting.
